You need to sell "See ya' Buddy" Merch..

[@Desertkns60]

Great idea!

[@christopherstewart9874]

"See Ya Buddy" flies tied on barbless hooks, so even if they wriggle off the hook you can still say "See Ya Buddy!"

[@markhumphrey8894]

You make want to buy a ticket to the Rockies and fish. It's heavenly! Don't stop posting. You need to keep us vicarious fisherman continuing to dream as we work our days away inside.

[@bradyates1361]

I've been watching your videos for about a week now and you have given me the FEVER !! Thanks!!!

[@gokofly]

Looks like a great little rod for a great little creek like that.😎 Beautiful. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardhollister1318]

I fish the western slopes of the high Sierras and because of your tenkara addiction, I have started my addiction. I’m 80 years old and have migrated to east and west Carson’s out of Markleeville because it is a little easier navigating at my age. Thanks for your videos. One request would be maybe to show the flies you use more often. I am sure It would really improve my results….. haha. Keep up the great fun. Dick Hollister Cameron Park, California

[@rodthompson7692]

One part of your videos I enjoy the most is those times when the light is just right for seeing the line tighten when a trout takes. Often before you have time to say "Fish On." I find seeing the takes before feeling them is a good way to improve hookups. What the line does can vary depending on how the fish has approached the fly. Always good to practice seeing the subtle ways the leader indicates a strike.

Sweet rod. Sweet creek. Like fishing InaGaddaDaVida! Mahalo!

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Great rod, great creek, great catch'n, great scenery...great day OTW!

[@micahbalfei]

Ah, this is your second love affair with a 240cm rod - after the golden trout. It's such a perfect size for so many East Coast creeks and brooks. I just purchased the Headwaters, and it's become my go-to companion here in the Catskills. There's something special about fishing in close quarters, up close and personal. Glad you're appreciating it as well.

[@TenkaraAddict]

It's a great length, for sure!

[@corbfisher]

Beautiful! Subscribed🙂

[@ericintampa9352]

just another stunning location! lol. thanks Tristan.

[@renegadeflyfishing]

Beautiful scenery and beautiful fish

[@edwinpharaoh6658]

That really is a beautiful canyon

[@SuperDaveP270]

See ya, Buddy

[@alexanderjoyce3305]

Great video, thanks so much for taking the time to film such an amazing intro with the drone. I find your videos so inspiring, I have taken to Tenkara like a duck to water and will visit the US sometime for a fishing trip. Slán, AJ.

[@FishingCircle]

Sweet video man. Miss those kinds of creeks!!!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks Todd! Now that winter is basically here, I miss them too 🥶

[@logangonzales3927]

Fished the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness over the summer. Best fishing I've experienced with Tenkara. Beautiful streams like the one you're in here

[@tenkaraintheiowadriftless]

Thanks for the video! Wonderful creek, a perfect match for that short rod. Such aggressive cutthroat, loved those competitive takes around 14:30!

[@williamheeber3290]

Have you ever fished Red Lodge near Yellowstone, wish I had a Tenkara 40yrs ago when fished awesome little cutthroat stream.. Awesome videos my friend!

[@kevinmclelland3887]

Can I ask you what waders you use? Is there a link somewhere for the gear you use? I've got a rod but I want to get walking in the streams.

[@streamsidedrifter]

Beautiful scenery and trout!

[@c.cabanilla8963]

I got one rainbow on the Ogden yesterday. It's been so cold and I've stuck with pheasant tail nymphs for now

[@richardsager1723]

Great beginning aerial shots and the beautiful surroundings. Fantastic fishing! you have all the fun?

[@freshlysearedahi]

Man I would love to see a video of you in Southern California hunting native bows.

[@outdoorswithjustin]

Wonderful little creek, nice job like always.

[@parkermadsen9996]

Watching these, I'm a little confused at what kind of fishing you do (dry fly, nyphming, etc.) from the flies you show, they almost look like dry flies, would love your feedback! I love the videos and it makes me want to get into tenkara!!

[@garrettgalloway4360]

Keep on fishing man 🙂😁👌❤️

[@concernedcitizen2868]

Pretty, i still think northern Idaho has the best streams i have fished. This looks really close to that. Beautiful.

[@michaelsmith7193]

Many thanks for another excellent video! I have a Hakubai as well, but I have been using lighter line (a 2.5) and it still casts very nicely. Another lovely stream - I always love the cutthroat waters!

[@JS-ms5uv]

Michael Smith, I’ve got the medium Hakubai and fish it with a 1.75 YGK line. Casts like a weightless dream.

[@willito6407]

Hi man, I would love to get a couple of your flies,,, I can't make them, where can I buy them already made. A good video like always.

[@TenkaraAddict]

I don't sell them anywhere. Sorry!

[@seanerichumphreys5253]

Great video! Looks like a rod for the collection

[@outdoorwilderness5299]

İ have been fishing brown trout in small creeks for 2 years with spinners in Turkey and about 1 year ago i met your channel and fell in love with tenkara. I got anything necessary ( rod,line flies etc ) but still couldn't manage to catch even one trout. How can be caught so many trouts. What is wrong that I am doing? is it about the creeks or my technique? I am really sad about it

[@pandaa3876]

Tenkara Addict, do you have any like idea to get started with tenkara below €150 or $150

[@robertperman8967]

Sweet creek

[@АндрейСеменов-ъ5с9ж]

Прекрасное видео, удилище настолько лёгкое.

[@davew7250]

How do you come up with what fly pattern to use? It doesn’t appear to me that they are particularly picky with what you present.

[@christopherstewart9874]

Very unfortunate that Nissin has discontinued the Air Stage Hakubai rods. They no longer have any 240cm length seiryu rods. Their shortest now is 290cm.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@ronaldhoppus9015]

How can you call it a day from such a beautiful creek? I think I would still be there 🙂

[@richardingraham6353]

Love all my Nissons

[@janpastorix6548]

I've never expected that fishing rod can be so light... Only 17 grams! I can't imagine myself when you would have 16 incher at the end of the line...

[@TenkaraAddict]

A 16 incher would certainly be a wild ride on a rod like this!

[@renegadeflyfishing]

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught on a tenkara rod?

[@christopherstewart9874]

You don't fish that rod if you expect to hook a 16 incher!

[@bobcatethan8919]

One day I will get myself a nissin

[@carlosandreblatt]

This hakubai it's kindda cult rod like the kurenai. They are, technicaly, seiryu rods intended for using with natural bait in small water for smaller fish.

[@jameschilders4958]

I watch these videos then go fish in DC and NOVA 😭😭😭

[@ernieflynn5124]

Now I know what's wrong with your videos.... Thierry not long enough. Thanks again.

[@robertkemp622]

Can two hours of fishing get better than this? I don't think so--and in western Montana, no less. I'm not sure that the softer version of the Hakubai, or ever the stiffer one, is still available, but you certainly put the one you used to wonderful effect. Tenkarabum has very few rods for sale these days. I think he may have gotten sidetracked.

[@tenkaraintheiowadriftless]

I saw a third-hand comment that he’s retiring. I don’t know if it’s true or not.

[@JS-ms5uv]

@@tenkaraintheiowadriftless , yes he’s retiring. He’s planning on still offering replacement parts, but if you want a Japanese made rod you’ll be buying it from a Japanese shop.

👍😊

[@eric-qi1os]

I’m the first! I love your vids

[@jackinthewoodsii8653]

You said it was a 7 foot line? What exactly is that? 7 wt line? I don't know if you know what the heck you are talking about????

[@TenkaraAddict]

It’s a level line 7 feet long.
